Expensive dinner
6:03 p.m. — 100 Block of Garden Street South. Larceny-Motor Vehicle. A victim stated that he arrived at a restaurant for dinner at 4:50 p.m., and when he exited around 6 p.m. he found that his pickup truck had been broken into. His Dell laptop and Garmin GPS had both been stolen, but he was unable to provide serial numbers for either item.

It appeared that the driver’s side window had been smashed in with an unknown object. No finger prints could be located on the door or within the vehicle, and no suspect information was known.

MARCH 31
iWas robbed
11:16 a.m. — First Block of Paul Lane. Burglary-Residential. A victim advised that at approximately 12:30 p.m. March 30, his daughter’s iPod was stolen from his garage. She had left her iPod there the day before with the garage door open, and when she returned later, the item was missing. The victim believes that another juvenile stole the $200 iPod. There are no witnesses at this time, and conversations with neighbors yielded negative results.

APRIL 1
False receipt
10:15 a.m. — 100 Block of Cypress Point Parkway. Larceny-Shoplifting. A suspect selected a bottle of wine and placed it into his shopping cart. He then proceeded to the customer service desk, produced an old receipt from his pocket and returned the bottle, which was valued at $11.74.

Once he had cash in hand, the suspect was confronted by an asset protection employee and escorted to the office.

Video footage showed the suspect committing the same act on March 30, with $22.04 of merchandise. The suspect was unable to be detained at that time because the footage had not yet been reviewed.

The suspect was placed under arrest for two counts of use of a fraudulently obtained/false receipt and given a notice to appear in court.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: the gateway crime?
7:02 p.m. — 100 Block of Cypress Point Parkway. Larceny-Shoplifting. Two suspects and a juvenile were observed walking through a store and selecting items off the shelves. One suspect opened and concealed 10 individual packs of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards (valued at $34.16) in his left shorts pocket, and the juvenile concealed one pack in her right back pocket.

The female suspect then selected a 12-volt socket kit (valued at $13.96) and a tube of skin cream (valued at $28.97), removed them from their packaging and concealed them in her purse. They then walked past all points of sale without paying and were escorted to the asset protection office. The two suspects were issued notices to appear; the juvenile was turned over to her parent and not charged.

APRIL 9
Campaign photo shoot?
6:43 p.m. — 200 Block of London Drive. Suspicious Incident. A complainant stated that he heard a car pull up in front of his house. A white male got out of the vehicle and took pictures of his house, as well as the street facing toward the east and west of his residence.

The complainant could not get a license plate number but stated that the vehicle left eastbound on London Drive. The male was tall with short brown hair.

The complainant went on to say that his wife is running for political office, and that recently their mailbox disappeared.

They’ve also received strange letters in the mail and numerous hang-up calls to their home. He believes all these events are tied to the political campaign in some way.
